blown diff on rs6 c7

Post by **audi786** » Tue Dec 22, 2015 4:49 pm

Hi...I'm new to this site.
I've recently bought rs6 few weeks ago. It's a 14plate with 14k miles. Must've driven 400 miles mostly nice and easy..tested it few times...wow it's a beast! !!!.I don't know if it's my bad luck how can the diff blow?? With such a low mileage. .Rs has full warranty. .so the work will be done ....plus been given a replacement car which is S6 c7. ..I will update u guys later.thanks

WOW - my eyebrow popped up big style at reading that thread title.
Which diff? Maybe it was towed incorrectly at some point instead of flatbedded. Was it an OY or OU plate?

Don't know. ..the dealership has ordered complete diff...which I was told ...but I'll let u know. .

What's the start of the registration number? OY or OU by chance as Bam asked? (These are Audi demo/press cars frequently and can often see a harder life).

Even though 14k miles is very poor even if its had a hard life. wonder what diff it is?

What were the symptoms that made you think something was wrong - noises, knocking, grinding etc?

It felt heavy. ..sounded more it if one of the rear window were open
Which case I thought it was normal. ...never compared it to another rs6....because it's the first I've driven.

Sounded like the rear window was open while driving on the motorway.

Ross this is a bit naughty. I don't buy into it personally - these cars are made to be driven at the limit at all times.

If they are press cars, they can get ragged terribly; I have been told this by the PR teams two separate car manufacturers. The manufacturers frequently have to put press demo cars into the workshop after they have been loaned out. The best example, of course, is the abuse dished out on Top Gear; all those power slides. Road cars aren't built to take that level of abuse.

But I just realised it's not a ex demo car...bought by owner brand new from factory ...he only done 14k since he had the rs..because I've the invoice to prove...than I bought it.i think the chap must've a heavy foot doing all those power slides lol..
